PokerTek, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTEK) today announced that the Croatian Lottery has selected PokerPro tables as their preferred electronic poker solution after a successful field trial. Three PokerPro tables were installed for the trial in October 2010, and have now been accepted by the Lottery.

According to the Croatian Lottery, automated poker on PokerPro allows the Lottery's properties to offer a complete poker solution. PokerPro was the clear choice, winning out against the competition with its robust functionality and reliability. Poker has become very popular in Croatia, and the Croatian poker players enjoy the accuracy and other benefits of the table.

"We successfully competed in this trial with the Croatian Lottery, and are pleased that PokerPro was selected as the product of choice for the Lottery's properties," said PokerTek's President James Crawford. "The Lottery chose PokerPro for its comprehensive poker functionality, product reliability and player preference."

The Croatian Lottery owns and operates five casinos throughout Croatia. PokerPro competed in the field trial against another manufacturer. The trial began in October 2010 and officially concluded 90 days later.
